Proven Reliable In ISI Inspection
The Centurion PS-710B Pulse Ultrasonic Test Unit provides versatile flaw detection
capability for many inspection needs. Its state-of-the-art performance and high
reliability under critical inspection conditions are dependable on by many nuclear ISI
inspection teams. It's also widely used in NDE test labs, as well as throughout the
aircraft, automotive and metalworking industries.

The standard PS-710B building block model provides fast, accurate measurements for many
routine manual tests as well as basic systems and laboratory applications. Additional
modules offer an economical way to increase capability, including a gate with attenuation
correction, AGC and velocity measurement. Analog time and amplitude outputs are available
which permit hard copy testing (chart recording) and drive remote displays up to 200 feet
away from the main unit.

0 to 83 dB in one dB steps through three gain position switch (0, 8, 14 dB) and
thumbwheel control (0 to 69 dB).

Accessory Modules
AT-1003 GATE/ATTENUATION CORRECTION
The AT-1003 is a gate module for the PS-710B which allows the user to perform gating
functions in the contact mode or interface (immersion) mode. The threshold point for the
alarm, a visual and audible type, can be set an any point on the screen and tripped by an
increasing signal (positive) or a decreasing signal (negative). Positive or negative
gating is switch selectable.

VC-1000 AGC and CALIPER INTERFACE

Amplitude Correction:

Gain control adjustable to reduce greatest signal in selected area by as much as 25
dB, to within 2 dB of selected level.
